Hello people! It is the last Tuesday of the month which means it is Heartfelt Creations Alumni Blog Hop.
If you have been following the hop you should have come here by way of Emilia.
I wanted to share a wonderful two sided tag with you today. I always decorate both sides of my tags because to me it gives the tags a more finished look.

Your next stop should be Mary Faus if you are following in an orderly fashion.

To be eligible for a $25 gift certificate to Heartfelt Creations you need to leave a comment on each participants blog. The blog starts at 8:00 AM EST Tuesday December 31, 2013 and ends January 3, 2014 at Midnight EST. The lucky winner will be announced Saturday January 4, 2014.

I participated in a Postcard Swap held by Art Papers Online. I have been fortunate to have visited Venice, Italy twice, both times unforgettable. Here is my postcard with the highlights.... a Venetian Mask, the Grand Canal, Murano Glass, Gondola's, Gondoliers and Saint Mark's Square.

Stamped with distress ink.

I painted Verde Gris Perfect Glaze on the front of the postcard then let dry. Adhered picture of the Grand Canal after I painted it with PPA and added Mica and Crystal Effects. I used a stencil and Light 101 Artist Cement to add my butterfly's then painted with Mica Color. I cut out the Venetian Mask with a Spellbinders die and coated with Duo then when tacky covered with Gliden Glitz. I made flowers and added Prills with PPA Gloss. I used the gold from the Mica Color to paint gold around the edges.
